A 65-year-old woman presented with a solid mass on the right temporal area. The mass had grown for over 2 years without any initiating event of trauma or inflammation. Before excision, the patient went through a computed tomography scan, revealing a calcified mass without bony connection. Under general anesthesia, an excisional biopsy was performed. Microscopic examination confirmed a diagnosis of soft tissue osteoma. Soft tissue osteoma is rare, especially in the head and neck region. Osteomas in the temporal region have not been reported yet. Due to its rarity, osteoma might be misdiagnosed as another soft tissue or bone origin tumor. Its treatment of choice is simple excision. In this review, we present an unusual clinical form of soft tissue osteoma.
一名65岁女性因右侧颞部出现实性肿块前来就诊。该肿块已生长超过2年，无任何创伤或炎症引发事件。在切除前，患者进行了计算机断层扫描，显示为一个无骨质连接的钙化肿块。在全身麻醉下进行了切除活检。显微镜检查确诊为软组织骨瘤。软组织骨瘤罕见，尤其是在头颈部区域。颞部的骨瘤尚未见报道。由于其罕见性，骨瘤可能被误诊为其他软组织或骨源性肿瘤。其首选治疗方法是单纯切除。在本综述中，我们展示了软组织骨瘤一种不寻常的临床形式。
